No, the only time a submission should be removed by a moderator is if it's obvious spam or illegal content like CP, otherwise, let the community curate its content. Shitty and irrelevant posts will be downvoated into the gutter where they belong.
So, freedom of expression only works if your saying something? Is it shitty? Yes. But this is Voat. The community should handle the issue. The moderator is there to moderate completely at their discretion, unless there are community rules. Then the community should handle their issue. The second that voat as a whole starts exercising their will on smaller, less powerful groups, is the second we go down the Reddit Road and into the Digg Ditch.
